In life, have but one desire, one only – to love Jesus Christ with all your soul. Let that be the one fixed idea of your entire existence.
Only by being a man or woman for others does one become fully human.
To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self interest as the driving force of society.
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute final way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything.
